3.00 Credits
This is the base level acting course which focuses on the acting technique created by modern theatre practitioner Sanford Meisner. The course work will be more focused on in class exercise-work than on intense scene study. Meisner's approach to acting trains actors to get out their heads and into reading and reacting to the behavior generated by their scene partners. This in turn creates a technique based upon authenticity and specificity, allowing an actor to "live truthfully under imaginary circumstances". Following this premise, actors can build each other's' characters, moment by moment, together. The course will explore the following Meisner exercises as: The Reality of Doing, Pinch and Ouch, coming to the Door, Doing Fully, Living In the Extreme, Taking It Personally, In Relationship, and Raising the Stakes. In addition, students will learn and establish a working vocabulary of terms used in the professional acting field (of both stage and screen) to utilize throughout in their theatre training and in their professional fields. .

This is a continuation of the acting skills development begun in Acting I. This course will build upon the Meisner technique by applying those skills to scene work from the works of Ibsen and Chekov; the fathers of the Modern Theatre. After Chekov, we will be exploring the technique of another modern theatre practitioner Uta Hagen. Hagen's approach to acting emphasizes the use of realistic props and sets (furniture, doors, appliances, etc) in order to ground the actor in a realistic environment to find their true authentic voice. Hagen will be explored through such exercise as; The moment Before, The 3 entrances exercise, The Lost Item exercise, Endowment, Conditioning Force, and Telephone Conversations. We will then explore the technique of practical aesthetics in order to break down a scene and script using a four-step scene score analysis system (Literal action, essential action, As if, and tactics/obstacles) in order to maintain the objective-driven acting principles laid out in Acting I. These scene scores will be both presented in class orally and written and applied to various contemporary scenes in class. To further explain the concept of practical aesthetics, students will develop the following skills: .the Students will develop and execute effective essential actions based upon a nine-point checklist published by the Atlantic Theatre Company. .Students will be able to pre-determine essential actions while spontaneously choosing the necessary tools (tactics) to achieve them based on the realities of the performance moment. .Students will demonstrate the ability to reflect on the application of technique orally and in written form. Pre-requisites: THEA 241 & THEA 365
